<p>NYU's short answers have a limit of 500 characters. Does that include spaces or not?</p>
<p>It includes spaces. Just put a few spaces into the box and you’ll see the amount of characters you have remaining go down.</p>
<p>Yeah, it does. It kind of sucks because on the Embark application they allow 600 characters.</p>
<p>yeah i found that i actually didn’t have enough room to write what I wanted to say. good luck!</p>
